Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim was presented in the Southeast Employment Tribunal on 16 December 2025. The respondent did not present a valid response on time, and a Legal Officer decided that the claim could properly be determined under rule 22 of the Rules of Procedure.
The Legal Officer found that The Biryani Mama Ltd had made unauthorised deductions from Gowtham Arjunan’s wages. The unlawful deduction from wages claim was upheld, and the respondent was ordered to pay the claimant £3,279 gross, which was also the total award.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
